However, I decided to 13 ________ one more person to my list, the lady I met every morning walking to work as I drove down the street. She always managed a sweet smile and a hearty(友好的) wave, 14 ________ I had no idea which house she lived in.
My gift idea was to make small 15 ________ baskets and leave them on each of my neighbors' front porches(门廊) on Christmas Eve.
